The historical tour of the ancient Ospedale Maggiore – nowadays main location of the Università degli Studi di Milano - arises from the will to make one of the landmark buildings of Renaissance Milan, alongside the Duomo and the Sforza Castle, accessible to the public at large.It arises from the awareness that Ca' Ganda has represented for centuries, and continues to do so today, the centre of research, both scientific and humanistic, dedicated to alleviating suffering, to improving the quality of life, to fostering human dignity, to stimulating the professional and ethical growth of the community.The hands of countless many have contributed over the centuries to make bricks, carve columns, etch furniture, prepare medicines, while other assisted patients, cleaned their wounds, observed and studied their illnesses, ushered children into life, comforted the dying as life passed.Of these hands, of all these persons, of these "us", but a handful of names have made it into history's limelight, but many are the signs of their greatness as "ordinary" human beings.This guided tour is but the first step to ensure that the memory of these people are handed down to their natural heirs, the inhabitants of Milan and all those who are aware that in the solid roots of the past lie the indispensable resources of progressing into a future less uncertain than the present.
